Dwan’s Online Poker Marathon

Where has Tom Dwan been lately? We’d been wondering that ourselves.

Since the relaunch of Full Tilt Poker last November, Dwan had been virtually absent from the high-stakes games on the site while the other two members of FTP’s pro team, Viktor “Isildur1″ Blom and Gus Hansen, were putting in major volume. In fact, entering Thursday, Dwan had played just 7,575 hands since the start of the year. Blom had played 38,800 hands; Hansen had logged more than 31,000.

But over the past two days, Dwan put in a marathon session reminiscent of the ones we saw in years’ past. According to HighStakesDB.com, Dwan logged into FTP Thursday afternoon and sat down at a few no-limit hold’em tables on FTP. Nearly 7,000 hands and 25 hours later, Dwan had profited more than $1.25 million.

Dwan’s session began with brief $300/600 NLHE heads-up matches against “SanIker” and “bbvisbadforme,” where he made about $17,000 in 70 minutes. But that was it for the hold’em games; Dwan then moved on to pot-limit Omaha and no-limit 2-7 triple draw, and that’s when the chips really starting moving in his direction.

Dwan faced off against the likes of Ben “Sauce1234″ Sulsky, Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond, Hac “trex313″ Dang, Alex “Alexonmoon” Leneau at the $200/400 no-limit 2-7 tables. Unfortunately, HighStakesDB.com doesn’t track individual 2-7 hands in its database, but we can tell you he profited more than $1.3 million playing the popular draw game.

Dwan also matched talents against Ben “Bttech” Tollerence, one of the biggest online poker winners of last year. The two high-stakes regs sat down at two heads-up tables of $300/600 pot-limit Omaha late Thursday night, and didn’t quit until 18 hours later. Dwan held the lead for most of the match, but Tollerene went on a rush Friday afternoon and finished on top by around $30,000.

At one point during the session, Dwan had more than $1.8 million spread across five tables. It’s safe to say that the “durrrr” we’ve come to know is officially back.

WSOP to Visit Colorado

On Thursday, the World Series of Poker announced the addition of a new WSOP Circuit stop at The Lodge Casino at Black Hawk in Colorado.

The new series will run March 12 through 25 and include 12 official WSOP Circuit events, including a $1,675 Main Event Championship set to begin March 22. The Main Event will be played as a re-entry with two starting flights on opening day and an additional third flight on Saturday, March 23.

“We know there are a lot of poker players in the Rocky Mountain region and we’re excited to bring the WSOP experience exclusively to The Lodge Casino at Black Hawk,” said WSOP Tournament Director Jack Effel in a press release.

As always, a points-ranking system for all ring tournament participants will be used to reward top top performers during the series. The top point earner and the Main Event winner will each earn automatic seats into the Southern Comfort 100 World Series of Poker National Championship taking place May 21 through 23 in New Orleans.

The full event schedule can be viewed at WSOP.com.

The WSOP also announced that the 2013 World Series of Poker schedule will be announced by the end of next week, so get your calendars ready!

Continuing on from last month’s note, work is progressing on all three of our announced books – Further Limit Hold ‘em; Exploring the Model Poker Game by Philip Newall, Applications of No-Limit Hold ‘em; A Guide to Understanding Theoretical Sound Poker by Matthew Janda,  and Harrington on Modern Tournament Poker by Dan Harrington and Bill Robertie.

We don’t have publishing dates yet for the last two books, but Further Limit Hold ‘em should be available around the middle of January. We’re waiting to receive the index back from our index builder, but it’s promised, at the time of this writing, to be sent to us by the end of 2012. Assuming this schedule is met and the printing press is available, the middle of January seems realistic. If not, we should certainly have it by the end of January. For those interested, at the end of this note is the table of contents for Further Limit Hold ‘em.

I also want to mention that we’re hoping 2013 is a much better year for poker than either 2012 or 2011 were. The ROW Full Tilt Poker players have been paid back, and we’re hoping that the US players will be paid back in the not too distant future, plus the site is up and running again.

In addition, we’re expecting to see some new Internet poker sites here in Nevada, and hopefully some other states will soon be joining in. We at 2+2 don’t expect this to be an instant cure-all for our industry, but it will certainly be progress and hopefully will lead to a much better future.
